for nonblocking handling of FIFO special files.
|

.SS mkfifoat()
|
||||
The
|
||||
.BR mkfifoat ()
|
||||
function operates in exactly the same way as
|
||||
.BR mkfifo (3),
|
||||
except for the differences described here.
|
||||
|
||||
If the pathname given in
|
||||
.I pathname
|
||||
is relative, then it is interpreted relative to the directory
|
||||
referred to by the file descriptor
|
||||
.I dirfd
|
||||
(rather than relative to the current working directory of
|
||||
the calling process, as is done by
|
||||
.BR mkfifo (3)
|
||||
for a relative pathname).
|
||||
|
||||
If
|
||||
.I pathname
|
||||
is relative and
|
||||
.I dirfd
|
||||
is the special value
|
||||
.BR AT_FDCWD ,
|
||||
then
|
||||
.I pathname
|
||||
is interpreted relative to the current working
|
||||
directory of the calling process (like
|
||||
.BR mkfifo (3)).
|
||||
|
||||
If
|
||||
.I pathname
|
||||
is absolute, then
|
||||
.I dirfd
|
||||
is ignored.
|
||||
.SH RETURN VALUE
|
||||
On success
|
||||
.BR mkfifo ()
|
||||
returns 0.
|
||||
and
|
||||
.BR mkfifoat ()
|

return 0.
|

In the case of an error, \-1 is returned (in which case, \fIerrno\fP
|
||||
is set appropriately).
